Description

Lake life without the lakefront price tag. Set just moments from Lake Champlain, this fully updated 4-bedroom home with an additional bonus room offers sweeping lake views from nearly every room and a layout designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Natural light pours through the home, highlighted by multiple skylights, french doors, and oversized windows that frame the surrounding scenery.

The main level flows easily between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating an inviting central gathering space. French doors open to the side yard, while the covered porch offers a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee and the sounds of birds flying over the lake. Outside, a private patio with a hot tub creates the perfect setting to unwind or dine outdoors, and the custom fire pit with built-in seating adds another inviting space for evenings with friends.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is privately situated apart from the other bedrooms and features two closets, three electronically operated skylights with automatic shades, and an ensuite bath complete with a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, double vanity and radiant floor. The additional bedrooms are generously sized, with room for king beds in each, while the bonus room offers flexibility for a home office or guest space. Three large hallway closets and a 750 sq ft basement provide abundant storage.

Additional features include Andersen windows, Pella French doors, sealed basement floors ideal for recreation or storage, and Lutron smart light switches throughout much of the home, allowing app-controlled lighting and away-mode settings for added convenience.

Located steps from the St. Albans Bay marina, this property offers easy boating access without the upkeep of a private dock. Walk to the Bay Creemee stand and St. Albans Bay Park, where shoreline paths are ideal for walking or running. Downtown St. Albans restaurants, shopping, and schools are all just minutes away.
